Notes:

Jerry's guitar gets very low in the SBD mix for Bertha and Greatest Story Ever Told but the matrix helps correct this. Most other songs have Jerry a little low, but not as much after matrixed.

SBD dead air trimmed out.

A subtle ringing feedback noise occurs in the PA for a couple minutes during Althea.

Reduced the left channel of the SBD for five seconds during Saint Of Circumstance to compensate for brief louder levels.

Frank Streeter's recording (#143938 via Charlie Miller and Scott Clugston) patches 30 seconds of Drums in the unknown audience source (opted for a one-minute patch here) and 30 seconds of Space.

Compared to other audience recordings for this tour, the unknown source had a bit muddy sound, but it still brought a nice ambient effect, good crowd levels, and fleshed out the instrumentation for the matrix. With a somewhat uneven soundboard recording at times as well (occasional hot vocals, hot keyboard, low guitars, etc.), the results were better than anticipated.
